curious about a p90 w/ the F0 0F bug...

[netsurfer]

I still have it, although Intel says they'll be willing to replace it for eternity (theoretically speaking, I wonder how many P90's they actually have and are able to ship out in exchange...)

Anyway, anyone have any theories as to if or when this processor might someday... become worth more than I paid for it? hehe http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

I have one too. I'm thinking of drilling a hole in it and making a keychain, that may increase it's value a bit http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

I am running a p90 with the bug. It is in my server box running linux (that has a workaround for the bug).

Now this box was bought in 1994 as a server (very expensive) with 64MB RAM (these days) and 3.2GB disks

The CPU had the bug and (since it was a server) we tried to replace it. We contacted intel and we never ever got a reply from them. Luckily Linux has this workaround and I never had a problem using this box in the last 3 years I have it home for my home server needs. It is even overclocked to 133!!

The Boss Lady is still running her P75 with a whopping 24MB of memory! I remember dropping over $500 (that's no typo!) for the 16MB stick to up it from 8 to 14.

Paid as much for it as I did for my 450MHz laptop. And she absolutely refuses to give it up. Tickled with it.
